Recommended for:

	Drinking water supply for up to 150 head of cattle or 500 people
	Combined pumping and treatment systems
	Small-plot irrigation - such as high value vegetables
	Wind Class 2 or higher

  We recommend this package for small scale pumping applications and applications where both pumping and electrification are required.  Small wind pumping systems can be combined with solar to provide the the more reliable performance of hybrid systems.

  The BWC Pump.System stores excess energy in batteries for use during low wind periods. It can also charge the batteries from a back-up generator (requires SB option).  With a manually controlled back-up generator the Remote.System can provide up to 24-hour pumping and electrical power.  

  The Tubular Tilt-up towers can be installed without concrete and they tilt-up after all the assembly work is done on the ground. The 64 ft. tower in this package is the most common height used with the XL.1 turbine.  For sites with trees, taller towers are recommended.  These tower are available in heights up to 104 ft.

  The batteries are Trojan T-105's, a workhorse of the home power industry and an excellent value.  A total of four individual 6 volt batteries are connected in series  to provide 24 VDC nominal.  This battery bank will supply up to several days of power without wind energy input.  The 1,500 W Magnum Energy MM1524AE modified-sine-wave inverter provides 120 VAC, 60 Hz (or 230 V, 50 Hz) and includes battery-charging and transfer relay functions.  For 60 Hz applications, a 120/240 VAC transformer may be needed to supply 240 VAC to the pump.  A back-up engine generator can be easily integrated, but it must be manually started and stopped.

The listed submersible pump is a 3” dia. Grundfos 22 SQ-120 pump that is capable of pumping up to 0.9 l/s (16 gpm) at a total pumping head of 43 m (140 ft).  The SQ centrifugal pumps feature soft starting that overcomes the traditional start-up surge problem with induction motors (problematic with static inverters) and automatic “dry well” shutdown (and restart).  This particular Grundfos pump draws 0.82 kW (1.1 Hp), but pumps drawing from 1/3 Hp to 1.5 Hp at 60 Hz can be used with the Trace 1.5 kW inverter.  Information on the SQ line of Grundfos pumps is available by clicking here.  Other types and brands of pumps may be used, but you must be careful about the ability of the inverter to start the pump.  Please contact Bergey Windpower for assistance choosing a pump for your particular situation.

  In addition to the equipment costs given below, a complete installation will typically include the following costs:  shipping, sales tax, permit costs, foundation and anchoring (some soil types), wire run, turbine and tower erection, battery racks or vault, electrical hook-up, and pump on-off switch.  Some users also incorporate a back-up gas, propane, or diesel generator into the system for extended periods of low wind speed. Your dealer or Bergey WindPower can assist you in budgeting these additional costs.  For budgeting purposes, these costs typically range from $1,000 (customer installed, no sales tax, etc) to $6,000 (Certified Dealer, sales tax, etc).
